Success & Epic Failures
A quote I got from Mr Rampton on
His twirling Tweet account.
I thought, impressed, amazed, “A catchy phrase,
I think I’ll write it down and later write it up,
It being just my cup
of tea:
‘Success and Epic Failures’,
You and me:
Sporadically, frequently,
Scarcely ever, almost never –
Take your pick.
Who hasn’t had them both?
Betrothed to neither,
One should rise above the two -
******** ‘round with mind and ego as they do,
Never lasting, alternating
Life throughout.
I think I’ll write a song -to-be:
Avail myself of phrase as symbol:
‘Failure and Success’ et al,
With appeal universal,
With potential to sell millions,
With success and epic failures,
Which of us has never been derailed
And won
Ten-umpteen times
In life?

I've edited it, trying to refine and simplify at the same time. I do that. Often I write with enthusiasm and think everything is at I intended, Then I re-read and discover a weak rhyme or the meter off, a better adjective or no adjective. This poem took approximately two hours to write, but looking at it again 10 hours or three edits later, it's simply not up to par. My humble apologies.
